Planning permission has been granted for a new clubhouse to be built at the Market Bosworth Sports Club ground on Wellsborough Road.

Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council has given the green light for a £450,000 building to be erected where the old and outdated clubhouse currently stands.

The decision represents a huge step to improving facilities for the football, cricket and triathlon clubs who use the ground as well as other local community groups. The new building would feature four changing rooms and a communal function room for events and hire.

Market Bosworth Football Club secretary John Denore said: “This is great news for all involved in sport in the Bosworth area and is the culmination of a lot of hard work by the sports club committee.

“This has been in the pipeline for a number of years and the main aim is to increase sports participation by creating more spaces.”

Since planning permission was granted Market Bosworth Football Club has been working closely with the Leicestershire and Rutland Football Association to secure grant funding. Applications have also been submitted to Sport England to try and raise money.

Mr Denore continued: “This is a can-do club and we are confident we can raise the money to make this dream a reality. We have lots of fundraising activities lined up to get things moving.”

Market Bosworth Sports Club committee is encouraging all members to fundraise towards the project and is keen to hear from local businesses who might be willing to sponsor this project.

Mr Denore added: “Hopefully lots of different sports clubs will be able to get involved once the facility is built.”
